I so sincerely regret buying into this sort of shit when I was a teenager. Realizing you're absolutely gonna die one day is bad enough on its own, but it's even worse when you once had a high degree of hope and confidence in the idea that a cure for aging will exist before you get the chance to die of old age.
Not that I expect to even reach old age anymore, but that's a different disappointment.
And there's essentially no way it's gonna be accessible. Either they invent it for rich fucks and they become unimaginably powerful, or socialism happens and they invent it for everyone -- but then most of the world is not gonna be on board with the immediately changing moral circumstances around natalism. Obviously anti-natalism is fucking idiotic now, but that all turns on its head if people all of a sudden only die of accidents at the age of 450
